About this property

3 storey, four bedroom town house in the Umbrian villa of Preggio with large and panoramic terrace.

In the tiny hilltop village of Preggio, which has only 80 or so residents, this lovely property is ideal as a B&B or family home. On three floors this terraced town house is located on the town walls and has a vast panoramic terrace with amazing views.

The property still features some original terracotta floors and traditional beamed ceilings and is spacious, light and excellently maintained. It would be equally suitable as a family home, but in the light of the success of Air B&B it could be the ideal setting for people touring through both Tuscany and Umbria.

The house is on three floors and although now joined as one house, it was originally two, and as such has two separate entrances which would allow either for 2 rental units or a separate flat for personally running a B&B. The flat consists of a bedroom, bathroom, living area and mezzanine level with direct access out onto the terrace.

The main part of the house consists of entrance hallway, large and light kitchen with barrel vaulted ceilings and access to the terrace. On the first floor there are two bedrooms and one bathroom and on the top floor one enormous bedroom with small study, walk in wardrobe and a bathroom.

The views from all floors are stunning.
